This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I'm trying to return a pair of boots that were ordered from an advert on fb.
I received the boots last week with no purchase advice in the packaging so no details of where I've purchased them from.
The address I have managed to find was on the delivery note sticker on the packaging as the returns address.
The payment from my bank looks like a crypto currency transaction and I am quite confused. The parcel has a customs declaration on it but I wasn't aware I was purchasing from abroad.
Please can you advise what I should do about this return

Yes, we all have that same Returns Address printed on our packaging - having bought items from different companies. I've rung Y&G F2P - Tel. No. [protected] - and they turn out to be simply a Customs Clearance company. Apparently we have to make contact, directly, with the relevant Seller. Good luck!

They will not accept returns to this address it is only a customs clearing house,
You have to send them back to China which will cost you more than the item cost you sorry

I have the same problem through a site called "Hightsun"
They sent me the completely wrong items that are also very cheap looking.
No responses to emails, and its a USA number. There are many sites i am now seeing (on Facebook)
selling the exact same range of shoes with the same contact number but a different name
and gmail address.

DID you return it and get refund?
please let me know
this might help:

I purchased a toy drone which was delivered today but the on-off switch is missing.
The packaging was damaged and the packaging return address is the same : Y&G F2P, UNIT5
TRIDENT WAY, SOUHALL, UB2 5LF
As with others there was no invoice or advice note in the parcel.

I in rend to complain to Facebook where this was advertised and see what they have to say.

What did the police say as there is no advise note to say who sent the ring, a real puzzle. I went to my bank for advice and they said to return it to the 5 Trident Way using a delivery that is signed for as proof of return if needed at a later date. I will hold returning the item if you can let me know what the police advise.

I have not heard back as yet, but do not send it back my sister read that people had been changed for that, I now believe that an order I placed on Facebook for a hula hoop which I believe to be from USA is why I got that awful ring I have not received my hula hoop but said it was delivered on the same day I got the ring so I paid £23 for it, as soon as I hear I will let you know I read that someone has order from amazon and received some odd thing

I’m not going to leave this I’m lucky I only lost £20 but I believe others have lost lots more !

I have checked out the address on Google Earth. Unit 5 Trident Way is on a really big industrial estate near Heathrow Airport. Any one up for going to visit the site to see what sort of operation this really is? Do they have any kind of communication with the supplier of these goods. Are they just a collection point with no communication whatever with the supplier?

I also am having a problem. I ordered a swimming costume from Beachbliss, it is the wrong size they say email and we will send you an address. They have not and from reading reviews now I see they are in Hong Kong but the address on my package for returns is Y&G F2P Unit 5 Trident Way Southall. I managed to find this https://opengovuk.com/company/08335320
which tells you the person, director who owns this place. Think they are scamming money off people in many ways

A shirt has arrived from Y & G for me which I have never ordered but package has my full address. Value on the declaration sticker is US $13.93 but it appears to have come from China. I did order a toy robot for my granddaughter earlier this month but paid £44 so worried now from comments above that this is a scam and i will never see what I ordered or a refund.

These companies are more than one step ahead. We need to find a way to publicise this and to get action. Looking at complaints board's and other internet posts, there are lots of alleged companies selling on FB mainly but all have this return address and then say you need to return to China or Hong Kong etc. It is a scam clearly. I photographed my packaging with the return address and raised a dispute with PayPal but so far PayPal are saying I needed to return to Vietnam! That's even with the photos. We can complain to FB but I'm also going to post on FB and asked for everyone to share it. Need to makevsure we warn people off of these kind of purchases not just one company name Any other ideas how we can get the word out? This is a disgrace!

Yep, I have similar problems, ordered a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet, £40 +, I thought from America via a compnay called Fivewood.
It arrived today ! From China a cheap flimsy face mask in the shape of a stormtrooper, customs sticker with a valuation of £14.00... THis should have been a solid state, voice changer solid helmet !
Y&G as a return, but they are not the seller, just a company that acts as UK contact.
I await email response from Fivewood Customer Services ?

I too, ordered some boots and a coat - the Company name "Berrylook" as the advertising company. The return address on package being Y&G F2P, Southall.
The goods came eventually, I took one look at the package and saw the goods, without opening the seals that the goods were "sub-standard". I immediately went back to the company website and looked up their customer service info. I sent them an e-mail the same time. I had a response the following morning " Thanking me but also apologising for the problem. I was asked to send the return tracking info and also a copy of return receipt so they can validate if you properly return it to the correct address". I too, return it to the address written as the "return address on the package", as there was no invoice or forwarding address on the piece of paper that was inside the package. According to them, once confirmed status of return they will immediately refund".

I sent them an e-mail from the "Post Office" with the tracking details. Now I have received another e-mail from them to say "delivered but to the wrong returning address" - THIS IS PROOF THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE RETURNED GOODS.

Their first response to me was that they were prepared for me to keep the goods and they will refund 25% of its cost to me - which I said "NO" - I wanted my full cost. Now upon receiving the tracked goods, they are now saying that they can only pay me 50% because it was sent to the wrong address (?). They are also asking me to provide receipt of the returning parcel - which they know fully well that there was no "receipt enclosed in the parcel". They also said that if I am not satisfied with response that I can file a dispute by going to their Resolution Centre - No details on website. I am now waiting for another response from them.

THEY ARE MAKING MONEY BY SELLING SUB-STANDARD GOODS AND HOPING NO-ONE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!

I have mentioned to them that I will be consulting with Cosumer Advice.

I do not have a wish account and have not ordered any items.
I received an email from wish informing me that my order for 4 pairs of size 12 American army boots have been dispatched to me and that the payment has been made via my pay pal account .

I have never ordered any items from them let alone 4 pairs of size 12 army boots from America, but they seem to have access to my pay pal account.
This morning a package turned up displaying an American customs form attached to it with a royal mail posting slip attached from Y&G F2P, Unit 5 UB2 5LF, containing 2 Pairs of boots.

I have taken this up with wish and as of yet no response.
Will keep posting until issue resolved.

It's a common scam by the Chinese people. They sell fake items and return no money when you have discovered the item(s) you bought are not originals and return to them. They simply just brush you off and continue your scam. Contact your credit card company or Paypal to have your money back.

Hi Jayne,

Me too! I received 10 or 12 toni&guy metal combs that I have never ordered. I have not been charged but I am slightly freaking out as they may have hacked any of my accounts. I changed my PayPal password, added extra protection and removed my debit card from there . I only left my credit card linked as its easier to settle issues on a credit card. However, i don't feel comfortable enough and I keep on checking my bank activities.

Me too, just received 3 pays of boots I didn't order. I have been checking my account since I got an email from Wish to inform me that my items have been shipped, paid by PayPal. I contacted my credit card company and informed them, no money taken, they cancelled my credit card and issued me with a new one. I have been checking my bank account, no money has been taken. So where did the get the money. PayPal showed the items as fully paid for. I went as far as closing my account with PayPal. I am sending the boots to charity when the shops opens at the end of the lockdown. I am not paying a penny on return cos I have the same address as everyone else.

On the 20/3/20, I ordered what was described as "stained glass minister wall art" cost $30+ postage. I have received it today, it is not stained glass, it is a thin plastic with some kind of transfer of 2 kingfishers on the back and is fixed to a thin metal branch and the plastic has scratch marks on. I had intended hanging this at a window but it is awful, I'm so relieved that it wasn't a gift for someone, posted directly to them. The email received on purchase was from " Gracias Zone"
